The Grade 5 students will once again be participating in the annual Polar Expressions Writing contest for students across Canada. The students will be writing a short story that must not exceed 450 words. The story should be original and not use any fan fiction or real names. It must also be Islamically appropriate, as some of the stories will be published and our students will be representing Abraar School. Students are asked to submit their typed short stories on Tuesday, November 15. In addition, they can submit a poem (32 lines or less) by Tuesday, November 1 (optional). I look forward to reading the students' creative submissions!

2) It is a great way to help our students practice kindness, the character of this month!

3) It is also a great way to help students put their du'aa of the month into practice. Our monthly du'aa is:

Typical Homework: Practicing reading the lesson aloud (Please focus on this as it is important), continuing uncompleted class work, or reviewing for a dictation test that we practiced in class.

The Arabic classes have been divided into two levels (5A; 5B).
